Senior Full-Stack Developer

Zappos is an online retailer specializing in shoes. In addition to shoes they sell handbags, clothing, eyewear, watches and accessories. The company is currently based in Henderson, NV, with a warehouse in Shepherdsville, KY. In addition, Zappos has a small number of brick-and-mortar outlet stores. The name Zappos is derived from the Spanish word zapatos, meaning shoes.

We are looking for an experienced full stack developer.Some of the technologies we use are Ruby on Rails, React, Redux, Node, Mysql, Postgres, R, Elixir, Java, Perl and AWS. Our general approach is language agnostic, choosing the best language for the job. Being able to design applications from top to bottom, troubleshooting and fixing tough problems, hitting quick deadlines, knowing when to push back on requirements, and mentoring other developers will all be very important parts of this role. Knowing a programming language or two like the back of your hand will also come in very handy. We are ideally looking for a "T-shaped developer"—someone who has a broad interest and understanding of technology and the web, but also has deep interest in a specialized area. However, being a Zappos developer sometimes isn’t a full-time programming job. We want someone who has their own big ideas, loves brainstorming sessions, and will participate in user research.

* 5-7+ years production Java software development experience * BS or MS in Computer Science * Solid computer science fundamentals (theory, data structures, algorithms) * Good working knowledge of SQL * Experience with web services
